These traffic lights ain't right.

I was just in town this weekend for about a week, and holy shit, I spent a most of my week in the car. It wasn't the traffic this time, and it wasn't the drivers. It was the TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'm not familiar with the intricacies of traffic planning and light timing, but the grid feels like it hasn't been tuned in a decade. It truly feels like roads with multiple signal/intersections in small sections stack greens and reds in random order creating gridlock everywhere. I spent 30 minutes going from Grand Av to Bird Road on 37th every single morning I was there last week, just because of the poor light timing and the gridlock it created. Same issues on US1 through South Miami and Dadeland over the weekend, when there was absolutely no traffic at all. This shit does not seem normal.

Am I out of my mind here? Are there any other segments in town like this to avoid? I moved to St. Pete a couple of years ago and one of the first things I noticed was that the traffic grid is perfectly timed for vehicles going the speed limit. I grew up and lived in Miami for 25 years, and I never remembered it being this bad.
